Does anyone know the album/availability, if any, or of anyone else who recorded it? I tried Fellside Records to see if they knew any more. Cheers Derek |

If you can't find the version you're looking for, you might consider contacting Millstream Records in Tønder, Denmark and get a copy of his CD. Best wishes, Bente |

Otago isn't on "Mussels on a Tree", but it *is* to be found on an older (LP) recording by Martyn, "A Rose From the Bush". I'd like to get that recording on CD, so I asked Martyn some time last year if it would become available as CD at some stage. Unfortunately, he said that there weren't any plans for that. Don't know if it's possible to make him change his mind, though, might be worth a try contacting him.. :-) Best wishes, Bente |
